Should Marchand be suspended?

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Hah, talk about under the microscope

 

[LeafShark]

If this standard is allowed to continue... stars are going to start dropping like flies. I'm just saying.

Nope.

Should have been a penalty (and possibly a DoPS warning) for the hit on Andersen.

Should have got 4 mins for the shot (unsportsmanlike conduct.... it wasnt even close!) and the 2 handed slash. Rielly probably should not have been penalized at all, but I guess he gets 2 mins for his attempted slash and/or ehat happened after. Either way Leafs should have been on the PP.

Nothing on the Johnsson play. It was unfortunate, but if it had been Bergeron it wouldn't of even been brought up.


If Rielly was injured on the slash, Marchand would have gotten a suspension (wether or not thats correct is another conversation).

Neutral fan here

Basically the league suspended Kadri (and rightfully so ) for running around like an idiot with his reckless play.

So why should the standard be any different here? Marchand was out of control tonight. But I think the NHL wants this kind of nonsense and encourages it

Wait what? The league suspended Kadri for his absolutely ludicrous hit on Wingels, not for running around like an idiot. I get where you're going with this post but there is absolutely nothing in the evidence provided by the OP that points to a Marchand suspension and heck, I'm not even a Bruins fan.

I mean hey.... Leafs can win a literal war of attrition.... we have more star players. We win the series if it's an eye for an eye, and that's the tone Marchand is setting for these playoffs with his goofball antics.

 

[Menzinger]

He deserves some sort of official sanction (be it a public warning or some small suspension), his behaviour is making a joke of the league’s rules

 

[WTFMAN99]

Call me crazy but when Marchand is going down does he try to swing his stick at Hyman?

I need a slower GIF, this was probably a poor one to use.

 

[Halla]

he should get a game but he probably won't because its the bruins

marner gets elbowed in the face and the B's dont even get a penalty lol

that was awesome

 

[Jackets Fan]

Sign John Scott for 1 game and let his big ass take care of mr rat

 

[RomanEmpire]

He’s a 5 foot 9 inch steaming hot pile of dog shit.

 

[snowkiddin]

Yeah, no. No suspension. Those idiots over at the DoPS set all this nonsense up by suspending Doughty for nothing.

 

[Gnome17]

No, because thankfully the dops arent as soft as you are, yet atleast.
So much crying about every little thing on these boards. Nothing of what he did is suspension worthy, not even close, and especially not in the playoffs.
Its lovely to see just how much he is in the head of fans all over, and especially in Toronto.

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

I don't think they're necessarily worthy of a suspension, but they're all dirty plays no doubt. I just can't understand how players let this guy keep doing the things that he's doing. Especially during the regular season, why is no one willing to take an instigator on him? He keeps acting this way because he never faces any sort of on-ice repercussions.

I'd like to see a Kadri VS Marchand bare knuckle match. Win or lose, they both end up with a life sentence on a deserted island somewhere.

 

[The Podium]

As a Leaf fan, none of that was even close to suspendible.

 

[c9777666]

Doughty, Marchand, Subban, Mcavoy, Hedman, Perry.... good lord, the NHL Department of Players Safety may have a lot of situations on their hands.

 

[puckpilot]

He'll get zero games. The NHL doesn't have the balls to call him on his BS. The Johnson one was soooo accidentally on purpose. You can tell from the way he doesn't even try to plant his lead foot on the cross over and decides to baseball slide into him.

 

[Bigboi123]

These are nothing compared to Kadri's cheapshot

 

[Crusher117]

Nothing to get suspended for. Maybe a call and a fine for the slewfoot and hit on Andersen.

Theres a hundred plays like this during every playoff game. If you put almost any player under the microscope like this, he will look bad over the course of a game. Il admit Marchand does a little bit more of it then most, sure.

 

[Foppberg]

I liked it better when the Leafs sucked and there wasn't 1000 hyperbolic threads per day.

 

[LeafShark]

Last I checked.... intent to injure is a serious offense.

 

[stl76]

Desperate?



The Leafs have been crosschecking Marchand quite a bit this series. Rather low of them so if Marchand retaliates what do you expect...

Out of control is quite the stretch however.

Is that a short joke?

Ha yeah, knowing Marchand, I'd say that's 100% on purpose. Good catch. He's probably lucky for his own sake that he didn't connect. If he had swung and hit Hyman up high, THAT would have been suspension worthy. As things stand tho, nothing suspension worthy in this thread IMO.

 

[Beville]

No, yes, and no.

 

[TMLeafs17]

Wow, can’t believe that’s all from one game...
